James 2:9 in Context — James 2

7 Ne sont-ce pas eux qui outragent le beau nom que vous portez?

8 Si vous accomplissez la loi royale, selon l’Écriture: Tu aimeras ton prochain comme toi-même, vous faites bien.

9 Mais si vous faites acception de personnes, vous commettez un péché, vous êtes condamnés par la loi comme des transgresseurs.

10 Car quiconque observe toute la loi, mais pèche contre un seul commandement, devient coupable de tous.

11 En effet, celui qui a dit: Tu ne commettras point d’adultère, a dit aussi: Tu ne tueras point. Or, si tu ne commets point d’adultère, mais que tu commettes un meurtre, tu deviens transgresseur de la loi.
